Sinks and taps
The most-used part of the kitchen.
Sinks
- Stainless steel: hard-wearing and cost-effective. Inset or undermount, 1.0 or 1.5 bowl.
- Ceramic: hygienic with crisp lines, popular in traditional kitchens. Includes Belfast and double Belfast, inset and undermount.
- Composite: stylish and increasingly popular. 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 bowl, inset or undermount, plus sink and tap packs.
Taps
- Single lever: L-shaped, U-shaped, swan neck, pull-out and low profile, in chrome, brushed brass and matt black.
- Dual lever: wide paddle, side paddle, traditional, Belfast, bridging and swan neck, in chrome, brushed steel, brushed brass, matt black and antique bronze.
- Hot taps: 3-in-1 or 4-in-1, single or twin lever, in several finishes.
Worktops
A long list, in every material.
The catalogue runs to dozens of worktop finishes: solid timber such as oak, ash, beech, iroko and walnut, laminates, Fenix, compact laminate and solid surfaces in marble, stone, concrete and quartz looks. Bring your own idea to the survey and we'll show you what's closest.
Appliances
Decide them early.
Appliances are an integral part of your new kitchen, and the choices change the cabinets around them. The range covers cooking (gas and induction hobs, single and double ovens, cooker hoods), refrigeration (integrated fridge freezers and full-height fridges and freezers), and cleaning (integrated dishwashers, washing machines and washer dryers), plus wine coolers. Talk to us if you need help choosing, or with fitting appliances into a larder.
Cost and practicality
What this costs.
Handles, sinks, taps, worktops and appliances span a very wide price range, so there's no single figure. We'll cost the ones you choose in your quote, and say plainly when a choice is pushing the budget.
A full design-and-install runs from £9,000 inc. VAT (design, supply and full project management); if you've already bought the kitchen, full project management is from £3,000 inc. VAT, or a dry-fit only install from £2,000 inc. VAT.

The honest finishing questions.
Which sink is best, stainless steel, ceramic or composite?
Stainless steel is hard-wearing and the most cost-effective. Ceramic is hygienic with crisp lines and is particularly popular in traditional kitchens. Composite is stylish and growing in popularity. None is wrong: it comes down to the look you want and the budget.
Should the handles match the taps?
They can, and a matching finish looks deliberate, but they don't have to. Handles are there to complement or contrast with the door colour, and a tap in brushed brass or matt black can sit happily next to a different handle finish if the rest of the room is consistent.
What's a hot tap?
A tap that also gives you boiling water. They come in 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 versions, in single and twin lever styles and several finishes.
Can you help me choose appliances?
Yes. Gas or electric, a built-under oven or one integrated in a larder, and which oven functions you'll actually use are just some of the things worth deciding early, because they change the cabinets around them. Talk to us at the survey.
